It's interesting that so far no one mentioned the age gap between the leads. FL 47 and ML 22 - I guess if it was the other way around the comments section would be burning 😉
The secret behind this movie's success is that the real crisis between the ML and the FL lasts a very short time.
While it takes the FL over half of the movie time to grow and deal with her weakness, the ML changes instantly. Right after the FL confronts him, he changes the way she wants him to.
I think the worst thing about this drama is... it's title - as it scares people away 😉
I was hesitant myself to give it a go but decided to try it because of all the positive comments. The first 2 episodes didn't convince me, but after that the story got better and better.
It was okayish. The humour was okay. Story was predictable. Well, okay there were some unpredictable (mind blowing)…
I liked when the kidnapped princess, instead of running away, just went to sleep on the doorway of the kidnapper's hideout. She was just like "Hey, I'm supposed to be kidnapped here! Get back Mr kidnapper! Oh, okay, I'll just take a nap and wait for you then." 😂

Sorry to copy and paste my own comment to you vs rewriting, but this is suffering from the MDL genre restructuring…
Thanks for your comment.
Genre is the most important thing for me when I decide whether I want to watch the drama or not.
For me, Genre is also the most important thing when I rate a drama. When the genre is not my usual cup of tea (i.e. Historical 😉) and for some reason I still decided to watch it, then I try to rate it from the perspective of it's Genre - looking less (but not completely ignoring) at my own enjoyment / lack of enjoyment of the show.
So yeah, the inaccurately assigned Genre, or changing it in whatever way after some time, may cause some trouble 😉
I spent most of this drama just waiting for the FL to get back to the real world.I just couldn't comprehend the…
I think it would be better, and more convincing for people like me, to indicate much earlier in the story that there is some kind of magic/higher power intervention going on. Had the leads known that they were actually in the same realm, then the whole dream phase would have made much more sense.
I spent most of this drama just waiting for the FL to get back to the real world. I just couldn't comprehend the reason for the FL to be so serious about something temporary and artificial. She knew that she was dreaming so why would she care so much? After she finally woke up it was okay.
It's a bit different from the prequel and I think I liked it more, even though I the prequel was more consistent…
1. I was disappointed a bit because I was expecting the twist that had happened (that the FL would turn out to be bad / controlled by Enigma). 2. The ML waited 5 years after the "fire accident" to expose the Enigma. Why did he wait that long? I didn't like that there was nothing to hint that. I hope it's gonna be explained in the next season.
It's a bit different from the prequel and I think I liked it more, even though I the prequel was more consistent in terms of pacing. Here the last episode feels rushed and, as others mentioned before me, it could be split into a few episodes or even a separate season.
Both main actors and support actresses did a good job. There were some scenes by the support actors that could've been better though.
Okay... maybe the puke kiss was a bit too crazy 🙈😂

Yes, this comment is here to provoke you. 😁

I think this drama is totally worth watching. Just don't expect any fluffy rom-com. It's actually more about friendship than romance.

Some more thoughts about the last episode:
The story was quite interesting. It was fast paced. The acting was good enough.
